Word Wars are a popular way to boost word count during NaNoWriMo. The concept is simple. Find a couple of friends, set a start time and a time frame, and write as fast as you can. When the time is up, compare your word count for the words written during the Word War, and whoever has the most words wins!

Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything, but since you pointed it out... xD

629 is still a lot of words. And I'm pretty sure you're ahead of me, anyways.
